Energy: Electrostatic Potential Energy
That
is also why the density of solid iodine is the highest followed by that of liquid
and then gaseous iodine.
In general then gaseous state of a
substance contains the most potential energy, followed by the
liquid state, and then the solid state.
And also that for a
substance, the gaseous state of a substance is the least dense,
followed by the liquid state and then the solid state, with the one single
exception: that of water and ice!
